Characters: Hades
Date/Time: Night of Sunday, September 25th
Location: Erato's dorm
Rating: R
Warnings: Language, sex, violence, you name it. This ain't gonna be pretty, folks.
Summary: Hades seeks a way to stop the maenads and save as many innocents as possible.

This was a holy mess, worse than he imagined. He had knocked one young man out for attempting to force himself on one of his professors. Forcibly halted a coupling that likely would have resulted from death by dehydration. He also attempted to give whatever bodies he found a semblance of dignity. Perhaps he should ask the spirits of the dead for any information on new faces appearing, particularly female faces. The others were searching for Erato, he'd focus on the maenads for now. With a few words, he began to summon the spirit of one of the slain young women, hoping she'd have answers for him.

She whispered into view in the middle of the hall looking confused and frightened. She had been raped before being torn to shreds by her fellow students and the damage showed on her shade.

She looked at Hades, her image fluttered for a moment then she was suddenly right in front of him without actually having moved.

Why

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"I have no answers that can justify what was done to you. I can promise you that those who caused this will pay, but I need your help." This was a prime example of what he was fighting against, mortals like this girl who suffer from the whims of gods."Did you see any strange women? They would not be from your college."

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

She turned her head when a loud groan came from a room. The reason for it could have been for any number of things. All she knew was she was cold, and her friends had become people she no longer recognized.

She looked back to Hades with that sad confusion a mask on her face. Yes. She was limited to answering exactly what she was asked. Hades power was not what it once was.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"How many did you see?" His tone was compassionate, hoping to give the poor spirit some sense of peace.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

Seven. Her head snapped upwards as her image flickered again. There was a muffled thump on the ceiling. Her image flickered again and she looked back to Hades.

Someone else has died now.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

Hades could feel it. He literally felt the life of someone violently passing over.

"I know, and I will help where I can, I promise you. One more question and your rightful peace will be yours. Where did you last see them?"

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

The look she gave him was pitifully grateful. Everywhere. Two nearby. The rest are scattered. Please...

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"Thank you, child. Go on, you have done your part and deserve to rest." Two nearby..he mentally braced himself for what may happen.

Eva and Alice sat on a counter side by side in the common room on this floor of the dorm. Expressionless they watched as co-eds went through the motions of every excess and desire they could imagine. A hand lurched up out of a pile of bodies towards them and Alice pulled her bare foot up out of reach.

Eva sucked in a breath as her attention turned towards the door, sensing the dark lord's presence and she gripped her sister's arm. "He came. We knew he would if we did this right."

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

Hades strode slowly and purposely into the room. He could sense them. Before their compatriot surprised him, but this place..death was strong here. As such he was strong here. He looked in the general direction of where they were.

"This must end." The words came out as if they were a command. He almost felt the old power.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

Alice followed her sister's line of sight and blinked, sitting up straighter on the counter even as she leaned more against Eva.

"No." They spoke in unison, even frowning as one. "It just got started."

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"Why? Why do you go on as you have while we have been reborn as mortals?" He's buying time, considering a way to contain.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

Their heads tilted as one. "We have not always been, dread lord." Their voices harmonized strangely, inciting the mortals writhing on the floor. "We have only recently been since long ago."

Alice smiled and ran a hand over her sister's chest while Eva put her head on her sister's shoulder. "We hear his call again. It called to us."

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"So Dionysus called you? Or someone else?"

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

They turned to look at each other with sultry expressions. Alice continued to caress her sister while Eva kissed at the other's neck. On the floor the mortals began to be pushed to higher levels of frenzy, tearing at each other in order to fullfill their desires. Some of them moving closer to Hades.

"His power calls us. Brought us back."

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"Enough!" His eyes began to glow a dark black, completely eclipsing his natural irises. As far as seducers go, these two were nothing. "Do you two truly wish to press your luck?" He tested his connections, he could feel the spirits of the dead around. Tentatively he looked into the maenads. Were they spiritual beings while possessing the moratls?

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

They laughed the same way they did everythind else, as one. The sound of it wove through the morals in the room, making them cry out and hands gripped Hades' legs.

They couldn't feel what he was doing since he was only sensing their forms. They were indeed possessing spirits, occupying and moving their mortal victims like puppets.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

Hades fought the desire to smirk. He could see them, and in this place..yes, he could do it.

"I give you one final chance to cease this stupidity willingly. After that, you will know why I am feared."

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

"Perhaps," Alice said. "We know what you are," Eva said directly after. Together, "But you will not do a thing without the blood of innocents on your hands, dread lord."

Their eyes flashed as one and they raised their hands over their heads, fingers laced together between them. Then the mortals rose and rushed Hades.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"Fine." Hades eyes practically burned with energy. He extended his arms out, sensing..and makes to pull the spirits out of there human hosts with the burst of energy he has gained from the death surrounding him.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

They gained nothing from the deaths of the mortals at Hades' hands. A passive death was not something they could use. It frustrated them as a handful of those attacking Hades dropped like puppets with their strings cut.

He couldn't take all of them, however. What remained attacked him in violence, hands with fingers curled claw-like grabbed and struck at him.

"Kill him!" Alice and Eva shouted in unison at the mortals.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"I don't think so." Hades focuses on the two maenads, delves past the mortal bodies to find the foreign spirits..and tugs.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

Alice and Eva scream feeling their grip on their vessels torn from them, their link to Dionysus severed by the more powerful godling. Released from the maenads' influence the bodies they had possessed go limp then slip to the floor.

Angry, frightened and without direction the maenads in spirit form wail while the mortals they had been influencing fall into exhaustion.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"You leave me no choice. If Dionysus won't contain you..then I will!" His hands glow a dark black color. His eyes resonate in a similar hue. "Until such time as I release you, your spirits are bound to me!" He focuses his will on spiritually binding the two maenads.

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

The two spirits twisted and turned in unnatural motions, their limbs and torsos thinning, their appearances darkening until finally, with that same darkness in their eyes they calm and look to their new lord.

yes As always they speak as one.

Even less power flows to Dionysus.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"Good. Now tell me, where are your sisters?"

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

They moved closer to him in a blurry, flickering motion. Sisters no more, dread lord. Two upstairs with the muse. One at the door out. The other two are no more but not dead.

[speakswithdead.insanejournal.com]

"Guide me to the closest one."
